I'll Be Here

I stood in front of my padawan's room after a long mission. I had finally got Obi-Wan to sleep after a nightmare.

Tell me why you are crying my son.

I know you are frightened like everyone.

The boy was so vulnerable to so many things. I just wanted to protect him from everything that was brought his way, but that was not the Jedi way. I could, though, guide him through different trials life threw him.

Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?

Will it help if I stand very near?

I am here.

He also had to learn to let go. His padawan was not a boy anymore. He was growing into a fine man, who could do things by himself. This mission had been the hardest we had ever been assigned . It made me think about all the evils in this galaxy.

Do you ask why I'm signing my son?

You shall inherit what mankind has done.

In a world filled with sorrow and woe.

If you ask me why this is so,

I really don't know.

At the times when my padawan seemed vulnerable, he gives me a surprise when he figures out something I don't even know. He is serious, but fills me with laughter with the things he does and says.

Tell me why you are smiling my son

Is there a secret that you can't tell anyone?

Do you know more then men that are wise?

Can you see what we all must decide,

through your loving eyes?

My padawan, my son. I would keep you from everything in the galaxy if it meant you were safe. But I can't hold your hand all the way but at least I can try.

And if you take my hand my son,

All will be well when the day is done.

And if you take my hand my son my son.

All will be well when the day is done.

The day is done, when the day is done.

Closed his door, I walked back to my room still thinking about my son.
